Baldur's Gate 3 Is Missing The Unique Charm Of Dwarven Companions

Robert Zak — Sat, 20 Jan 2024 23:00:13 GMT

As I worked my way around the campfire in Baldur’s Gate 3, chatting to my companions to see which ones had dialogue developments that invariably would lead me to bedding them, a niggling feeling coagulated into a fully fledged thought—something that had been bothering me since my early hours with the game: why isn’t there a single companion there from the stout ‘little’ races? Not a single Dwarf, Halfling, or Gnomish companion in sight, and frankly barely any notable characters from those races to speak of in the game full-stop.

Baldur's Gate 3 has many recurring characters that can be met in the first act and will walk the same path as the player to Baldur's Gate. While many of these characters will tie into personal quests that will affect if they make it or not, some have it a bit easier and will make it as long as the player doesn't make any truly evil decisions.

Even the more straightforward dungeons in Baldur's Gate 3 can have secrets for players to find. Within the Mind Flayer Colony, hidden in one of the back rooms, will be a very colorful puzzle that players can stop and take a breather to solve.

Sorry Baldur's Gate 3, But Honkai: Star Rail Takes Priority For Me In 2024

It's nearly the middle of January, just that time of year when I set plans in motion to make up for anything I didn't finish. My colleagues know this feeling, as they just took a look over at what 2023 resolutions they achieved, and then jumped into making resolutions for 2024. As for my resolutions and failures, there are two massive games from last year that I started but never managed to put much of a blip into: Baldur's Gate 3 and, uhhh, Honkai: Star Rail.

My Fight With Balthazar Showcased The Best And Worst Of Baldur's Gate 3

Robert Zak — Wed, 17 Jan 2024 11:00:13 GMT

Down amidst the floating rocks and dark swirling clouds of the Shadowfell realm, a battle is raging. With the mysterious force (who is actually a person, it turns out) known as the Nightsong at its centre, trapped and tormented in a magical cage for gods-know-how-long, I’m doing battle with the necromancer Balthazar, high-ranking minion of Ketheric Thorm’s.

Baldur's Gate 3: What To Do With The Addled Frog

Baldur's Gate 3 is full of big and small encounters, each giving players an incredible amount of freedom in how they want to handle them. Thanks to the Speak With Animals spell, even what seems like random animals in the world can be complex interactions, giving players additional tasks to complete and rewards to be had.

Baldur’s Gate 3: How To Access Isobel’s Room In Moonrise Towers

While playing Baldur's Gate 3, you will quickly learn that Isobel, the Selunite Priestess that you meet in Act 2, is the daughter of Ketheric Thorm, the main antagonist of the act. Considering their connection, it makes sense that Isobel isn't the biggest fan of her father.

Is Baldur's Gate 3 Better With Keyboard & Mouse Or Controller? I Found Out

Robert Zak — Tue, 16 Jan 2024 19:30:13 GMT

I have a confession, one that’s directed much more at PC gamers rather than console ones, who might not appreciate the depraved depths of the transgression I committed. Ever since Larian enabled controller support in the original Divinity: Original Sin, I’ve exclusively played their games with a controller. In my defence, I’d say that that was because that was the only way to play Original Sin 1, 2, and Baldur’s Gate 3 in split-screen with my partner, but I’m not sure that will redeem me in the eyes of my PC brethren. Split-screen, after all, is historically a ‘console thing’ too.

Baldur's Gate 3: Should You Destroy The Scrying Eye

Baldur's Gate 3 has all sorts of characters, creatures, and magical constructs that players will come across. With so many things to see and abilities to know about, it's easy to miss over something important or not prioritize the right enemy in combat.

Rushing Through Baldur’s Gate 3 Was A Beautiful Mess

Jervon Perkins — Mon, 15 Jan 2024 11:00:13 GMT

In the final days of 2023, I embarked on a whirlwind journey through the world of Faerûn in Baldur's Gate 3 yet again. The catch? I had just two weeks to travel the intricacies of the game, bringing my character, Serenity, through a fast-paced adventure that would rival any epic tale ... though in a far messier manner.
